The End To A Great Day.

I've had a great day. Even though it rained and it was cold.
I'm so blessed to have an amazing family and awesome friends.
Tomorrow is my first day of school here in Hawaii. I'm a little nervous but mostly excited. I'm so ready to graduate and finally have a degree. Not too much longer now.
So I guess Kiki and I are going to bed so we can get some sleep for my day tomorrow.
So sweet dreams world. I pray that everyone has a beautiful day tomorrow.
XOXOXOX

Friends are kisses blown to us by angels.

I'm very blessed to have such great friends in my life. The best two being my wonderful mother and best friend Kelsey Mae. I can always count on them for anything. It makes my heart happy.

My mom of course is my best friend. I don't know what I would ever do without her. She is my role model and I truly hope to become half the woman she is. She is amazingly beautiful and sweet. She is so strong and stands up for what and who she believes in. I know when the world hates me, she will be the one person there on my side. I love you mommy dearest.

Kelsey being my oldest best friend. We met when I was in the 7th grade and her in the 8th. Ever since then we've been soul friends. Our friendship has survived several school changes, relocating, and months of not talking. When we do get back in touch though it's like we haven't missed one day of not seeing each other. She is one of the most beautiful people I know. On the outside and on the inside, which makes her that much more pretty. Even though we're an ocean apart right now, I still feel the closest to her. I know without a doubt that she will always be there for me and I for her. She has never ever judged me or said one single negative word about me or towards me. I am very blessed to have her in my life. Not everyone gets to have a friendship like ours. I'll cherish it until my very last day. So thank you my dear best friend. I love you dearly and wish every single dream of your's comes true.

New Year

Sooo it is now the year of 2011. It seems so crazy to say that. Where has all of the time gone? Really? I guess its true that time does go by faster when you get older. I remember the days of jumping on the trampoline for six hours straight. Oh how I miss those days. It was the simple life. Actually my life is still pretty simple. If I just let myself realize that fact throughout the day my life would be even more simple. I guess I just really like being difficult. (Not really.) So I've decided not to have any New Year resolutions this year. I don't want to let myself down. If I did have one though...it would be the same as Patti Labell's: to stay away from people. I love her for having said that. People just tend to drag you down. I've been working on liking people more though. They just make it so hard for me sometimes. If everyone was more like me and thought the same way I did, I'm pretty sure the world would be a better place. And a cleaner one at that. I wonder what all I'll go through and do this year...I'm so excited to find out. I have a feeling that it's going to be a good year. And not one of those deceitful feelings I get when I meet a new guy and think he's "the one".
Oh and here are some quotes to maybe help myself to make this year the best ever:
If you expect to be let down by people you love, you always will be.
-Dr. Laura Berman

I won't use blame to escape taking control of my life or my relationships.
-Dr. Laura Berman

There is no room for divided loyalty in relationships.
-Dr. Phil

A scripture for when I feel alone and feeling sorry for myself. It always makes me feel better.
The Lord is close to the broken hearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.
Psalm 34:18

One that lets me know that He is protecting me.
A father to the fatherless, a defender of the widows, is God in His holy dwelling.
Psalm 68:5

When I'm at my breaking point I read this and smile because I know much more beautiful days are to come.
I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.
Romans 8:18

When I'm feeling blessed and don't know how to pay it forward.
Praise be to the God Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God. For just as the sufferings of Christ flow over into our lives, so also through Christ our comfort overflows.
2 Corinthians 1:3-5

A verse that reminds me to be strong.
For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self discipline.
2 Timothy 1:7

And one to read when I feel unsure about my future.
For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord. Plans to prosper you and not harm you. Plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all of your heart.
Jeremiah 29:11-13

I love that I can find a verse somewhere in the Bible for anything I go through. It really covers all the bases. It's pretty sweet. I recommend that everyone in the whole entire world reads Max Lucado's book, "Come Thirsty". I didn't really want to read it at first but I'm so very glad that I did. It really gives good information and very inspiring. Not to sound like an old person or anything but I really do feel blessed after reading it. So I hope everyone reads it. You'll be thankful that you did.

Time Tested Beauty Tips

Time Tested Beauty Tips

For attractive lips,
speak words of kindness.

For lovely eyes,
seek out the good in people.

For a slim figure,
share your food with the hungry.

For beautiful hair,
let a child run his fingers through it once a day.

For poise,
walk with the knowledge you'll never walk alone...

People, even more than things,
have to be restored, renewed, revived,
reclaimed and redeemed and redeemed ...

Never throw out anybody. Remember, if you ever need a
helping hand, you'll find one at the end of your arm.

As you grow older you will discover that you have two hands.
One for helping yourself, the other for helping others.

The beauty of a woman
is not in the clothes she wears,

The figure that she carries,
or the way she combs her hair.

The beauty of a woman
must be seen from in her eyes,
because that is the doorway to her heart,
the place where love resides.

The beauty of a woman
is not in a facial mole,
but true beauty in a woman
is reflected in her soul.

It is the caring that she lovingly gives,
the passion that she shows,
And the beauty of a woman
with passing years-only grows!


-Sam Levenson

This was one of Audrey Hepburn's favorite poems written by Sam Levenson. I can see why she loved it so much. It has a wonderful meaning and is written beautifully. It is now my favorite poem too. :)

Heart of Worship

When the music fades

All is stripped away

And I simply come

Longing just to bring

Something that's of worth

That will bless Your heart

I'll bring You more than a song

For a song in itself

Is not what You have required

You search much deeper within

Through the way things appear

You're looking into my heart

I'm coming back to the heart of worship

And it's all about You,

It's all about You, Jesus

I'm sorry, Lord, for the thing I've made it

When it's all about You,

It's all about You, Jesus

King of endless worth

No one could express

How much You deserve

Though I'm weak and poor

All I have is Yours

Every single breath

I'll bring You more than a song

For a song in itself

Is not what You have required

You search much deeper within

Through the way things appear

You're looking into my heart

I'm coming back to the heart of worship

And it's all about You,

It's all about You, Jesus

I'm sorry, Lord, for the thing I've made it

And it's all about You,

It's all about You, Jesus

I'm coming back to the heart of worship,

And it's all about You,

It's all about You, Jesus

I'm sorry, Lord, for the thing I've made it

When it's all about You,

It's all about You, Jesus

I was listening to this song just as I was finishing up with my last blog. And as it always does, it squeezed my heart strings and my eyes were stung by the tears behind them. It's such a beautiful song. And so so true to the way I feel so often. I do back-slide, then I do come back to the heart of worship. I need to grow up and stay there though. I'm working on it. It's just a little challenging sometimes.

So I just thought I would share these beautiful lyrics. Truly one of my favorite songs.

Que Sera Sera

When I was a little girl

I asked my mother, what will I be

Will I be pretty, will I be rich

Here's what she said to me.

Que Sera, Sera

Whatever will be, will be

The futures not ours, to see

Que Sera, Sera

What will be, will be.

This is only a bit of the song "Que Sera Sera". I love it all, but the rest doesn't really apply to me at this moment and time. I absolutely love Doris Day. She's so glamouras, calm, cool, and collected. I just watched "Young at Heart", one of my favorites of hers. Frank Sinatra stars in the movie with her. He's completely gorgeous. Too bad they don't make fellas like that anymore.

My mom and I were saying while we were watching this movie that we were born about 60 years too late. I would have loved to be alive back in this time frame. She said that my great-grandpa Ed was born in 1910. I think 1910 would have been a good year to be born. He would have been one-hundred years old this year. Kind of crazy to think about.

I have so many favorite old movies. They're my favorite kind to watch. I would watch a black and white film over what comes on TV now, any day of the week. I don't believe that there is enough space here to type all of my favorite old movies. I don't think I have enough time either. :)

Well I'm off to bed now. Gotta be at work at 8:00 in the morning.
So goodnight to all and to all a good night!

Quotes

Here are some quotes that I've came across, loved, and saved in my phone so I wouldn't forget them. :)

The true measure of a man is how he treats someone who can do him absolutely no good.
-Samuel Johnson

Beginnings are usually scary and endings are usually sad, but it's everything in between that makes it all worth living.

There comes a point in your life when you realize who matters, who did, who won't anymore, and who always will. So don't worry about people from your past, there's a reason they didn't make it into your future.

You can't buy happiness, but you can buy ice cream, which is kinda the same thing.

Its not the home I love, but its the life that's lived there.

Thank you, God, for this good life and forgive us if we do not love it enough.

I have found the key to a happy life is to surround myself with like-minded people who agree with me constantly.
-John Mayer

Today I'm handing out lolipops and ass-whoopins and right now, I'm all out of lolipops.
-Jack, from Will & Grace

My name is Anastasia Beverhausen. That's Anastasia like the Russian royalty and Beverhausen like...where the beaver live.
-Karen, from Will & Grace

Curve: The loveliest distance between two points.
-Mae West

If you want to sacrifice the admiration of many men for the criticism of one, go ahead, get married.
-Katharine Hepburn

I'd much rather be a woman than a man. Women can cry, they wear cute clothes, and they're the first to be rescued off sinking ships.
-Gilda Radner

Let your heart guide you. It whispers, so listen closely.
-The Land Before Time

You'll spend the rest of your life getting up one more time when you get knocked down. So you better get use to it.
-John Wayne
